- What’s going on with Reality TV lately with contestants that I actually like getting to the finals? It’s madness, but in a good way. It probably all started with Carrie winning Idol, and then I liked the final 2 in this season’s America’s Next Top Model, the final 3 in Survivor, the final 2 in The Amazing Race, and the final 2 in this week’s Apprentice finale. I’ve even had the people I most wanted to win the shows actually win. What’s going on here?? And why is it making me uneasy? Is the Apocalypse upon us?

- There’s not much that could have ruined the Curious George trailer more for me than those dreaded words spoken at the end, “Featuring all new songs by Jack Johnson.” (Except if “Jack Johnson” was replaced with “Dave Matthews.” In either case, bleah!)

- It’s only December 14th, and already this winter is dead to me. It’s about 9 degrees out today with a negative wind chill factor, and last week found a bunch of us trapped in the parking lot at work after a snowstorm that wasn’t really played up because the local weather boobs had been hyping us up for a dud a few days earlier. 20 minutes of shoveling my way out (reminding me of what poor, poor shape I’m in) and a 2-hour commute home instead of 20 minutes signaled the official “dead to me” status of this winter. Now they’re predicting snow for Friday and I’m packing my bags. Warm climate, here I come. God help me in March.

- Why are my grandmother’s pants getting shorter as she is getting older? Actually, it’s happening to both of my grandmothers. They’re shrinking themselves, getting smaller and shorter – why are their pants following suit and turning into highwaters? They should be swimming in them! And why are my mother and I so fascinated by this? And why do I always think of The Incredible Shrinking Woman when anyone mentions anyone shrinking? And I think back fondly – I must have watched that movie a zillion times when I was younger. I’m kind of worried that it’s actually not even half as good as I think it was. This is probably why I should never watch it now that I’m older – I’m not sure it will make the transition. But man, I used to love that garbage disposal scene.

Embarrassing Quote of the Day: Courtesy of me: “I saw XXX in the theater.” Oh, the shame.
